Sakura could be one. She's a strong and intelligent character. Her interest in medicine might make her curious about the blacksmith's skills in creating precise tools. Hinata is also a possibility. Her gentle nature might be drawn to the blacksmith's hardworking and creative side.
There are also some minor female characters that could be included. For example, the female ninja from the Hidden Sound Village. She might be attracted to the blacksmith's skills and see it as a way to gain power for her village. Also, the female members of the Akatsuki (if there were any) could potentially be part of the harem, bringing in a more complex and dangerous element to the story as they have their own motives and loyalties that could conflict with the blacksmith's and the other harem members' goals.
Tenten could be a great addition to the harem. As a weapon - loving ninja, she would be really interested in the blacksmith's work. Ino might also be in the picture. Her confident and outgoing personality could lead to an interesting dynamic with the blacksmith. And there are other female characters like Temari who could potentially be part of the harem due to the blacksmith's unique skills and personality.
Hinata is a likely candidate. She has always had deep feelings for Naruto. On the island, her gentle and caring nature would make her an important part of the harem. Sakura could also be there. Despite her initial feelings for Sasuke, being stranded on an island with Naruto might make her see him in a new light.
There could be some original Arrancar characters created specifically for the fanfiction. For example, a young and curious Arrancar who is new to the ways of her kind. She meets Naruto and is immediately fascinated by his different appearance and abilities. And then there's a more experienced Arrancar who has seen many battles. She initially sees Naruto as a threat but then realizes his good intentions and slowly falls for him, becoming part of the harem.
Definitely Hinata. Her love for Naruto is well - known, and in a post - apocalyptic world like Dead Rising, she would be by his side. Sakura could also join the harem. She has a complex relationship with Naruto and this new setting could change things. Then there's Temari. She's strong and independent, and in this new world, she might find herself drawn to Naruto. Karin, with her unique abilities, could also be part of the group of female characters in the harem.
Well, obviously Naruto himself would be the central male character. For the female characters in the harem, Sakura could be one. She might start to see Naruto in a new light when he overcomes his blindness with such tenacity. Hinata could also be part of it. Her shy and loving nature could be a great contrast to Naruto's more outgoing and determined personality in this scenario.
Temari could also be a potential character. Given her status in the Sand Village and her strong - willed nature, she would bring a different dynamic to the harem. There could also be some original characters created specifically for the fanfiction to add more variety.
Well, one could be a female ninja from the Uchiha clan. She might be strong - willed and have the Sharingan. Another could be a gentle - natured girl from the Hyuga clan, with the Byakugan. And of course, there could be a foreign ninja who has her own unique abilities and catches the heir's eye.
Sakura would be an obvious choice. She has a long - standing relationship with Naruto in the original series. Hinata is also a likely candidate, given her feelings for Naruto. Then there are other strong female characters like Temari. She's tough and could add an interesting dynamic to the harem.
In the Avatar world, Katara could be one of the potential characters. She is strong - willed and caring, and might be attracted to Naruto's determination. Toph could also be a part of it. Her tough - as - nails attitude might find Naruto's unique powers interesting.
Well, Hinata is a no - brainer. She's been in love with Naruto for a long time. Then there's Sakura, who has a long - standing connection with Naruto. Tenten could be an interesting addition. She's a skilled ninja and could add a different flavor to the harem. Anko could also be part of it, with her wild and unpredictable nature. And we can't forget about the possibility of including some of the minor female characters like Hanabi, Hinata's sister, who could bring some family - related plotlines into the mix.
There could also be some original female characters created specifically for the fanfiction. Maybe a female fire - bender who has a secret past and sees something in Naruto that makes her want to open up. She could be part of the harem, adding her own unique story and relationship with Naruto to the mix.
